HOW AN IDIANA ORL Got Strong and Well Again at Small Cost. Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden, Ind., says: "I was a complete wreck, al ways tired, wornout and nervous. I had to spend about one-third of my time in bed and my life was not worth living. Vinol, your delicious cod liver - ncd iron tonic, was recomlmended. an, it has Cone me more good than all the medicine I ever took in my life. That nervous and tired feeling is all gone. I have gained in health, flczh an.' ttrength, until I feel like another per con." Vinol is the most efficient strength creator for such women. It is the medicinal elements of the cods' livers contained in Vinol, aided by the blood making and strengthening properties of tonic iron, which makes it so far superior to all other tonics to build up health and strength for weak, tired, ailing women. It contains nz oil and has a delicious taste. 4 We give back your money if Vine' does not do all that we cl"m Dickson'%,Dru.: Stre, Mauning, S.

CRAIG, Pass Traffic Mgr. BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE The Former More Distinct at a Dis tance Than the Latter. There is a tendency on the part of railroads to adopt signs with white letters on a black background. not re alizing that the black letter on a white background is easier to read and car be seen at a greater distance. This follows In an interesting way from the structure of the retina of the eye. The impression of a- letter at the limit of vision is received on the ends of a small bundle of nerves which con vey to the brain a sort of mosaic im. pression. A nerve can only transmit to the brain information as to whether or not a ray of light Is falling upon It. and when a nerve Is partly In the light and partly In darkness the sensa tion is the same as though all of It was In the light. It follows, therefore, according to the Scientific American. that all nerves on the dividing edge between any black and white area transmit the sen sation of light so that all white lines and white areas appear wider and all black lines and black areas appear narrower than they really are. Blaclk letters grow thinner at the limit of vision and are still recogniz able, while at the same distance white letters grow thicker and cannot be dis tingnished. There are circumstances when it is necessary to use white let ters. but In such cases legibility will be Improved if they are made with a thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black letters are more distinct If made with a heavs.stroke. "Doing the Trick." Kean played Brutus to, his son's Titus in "Brutus, or the Fall of Tar quin." As may be imagined, the ben efit was a bumper. There was over ?300 In the house. Kean, invigorated and strengthened by his holiday, play ed magnificently. Charles supported him extremely well, and Kean's deli ery on his son's neck of the lines "Pity thy wretched father." stirred the au dience to theif very depths.

Throughout the northern Unite( States, from the Atlantic ocean to thb far northwest and as far south as Ken tacky. huge bowiders are found seat tered at haphazard. The rocks anc ledges are smoothed and marked wit scratches varying from faint lines t< broad grooves two feet deep. Some of these bowiders. weighing many tous are so balanced on a ledge that a slight touch will rock them. The Indians used them as "alarm bells." The grooves or scratches on these rocks are as a rule parallel and extend north and south. South of the above mentioned area neither bowlders nor scratched rocks can be found. How came the bowiders in their po sition? What scratched the rocks? Agassiz. familiar with the glaciers of the Alps. probably gave the true an swer. He showed that a similar state of things is produced today by the gla ciers of Switzerland. These streams of ice creep slowly down from the lofty summits of the Alps through the Val leys to the plains. They bear on their surface huge rocks fallen from sur. roundin'g cliffs. The stones frozen in the bottom of the glacier, pressed down by the enormous weight of ice above them, scratch and groove the rocks be neath. as the tool of a carpenter gouges out a piece of wood. What was the condition of America when similar effects were produced? Instead of local glaciers scattered in the valleys, the whole surface now cov ered with bowiders must have been hidden by an immense sheet of Ice. Judging from the marks on the rocks. the sheet moved from the north toward the south, carrying with it masses of rook.-Harper's Weekly.

The average inland American who has never seen the ocean has no real Idea of the force of Its waves. He reads about the storm, of boats being carried away and bulwarks stove. But he does not realize the steam hammer blows that may be struck by mere water.* A recent storm on the British coasts received the otticial designation of a storm of "extreme force." A picture taken In Hastings harbor shows the concussion with which - the waves struck the sea- wall, sending, the spray apparently higher than thie buildIngs along the -street. Blocks of concrete and iron railing were torn from the new parade extension at Caroline place and' tossed back into the roadway as If they had been bits of plank. Timber work that had withstood the stress of years was torn apart and carried away. Basements were flooded along all the seaward face of the town. Such a storm when It sweeps over a ship will sometimes carry away almost everything on deck. Deck houses are often smashed, and the lifeboats are often stove in and ruined. Various attempts have been made to devise motors to develop power from the force of the waves. The amount of energy wasted through their lack of success Is beyond estimate. If the power of the sea could be used it would drive the machinery of an un limited number of plants.-Chicago Tribune. READING THE FUTURE. Foresight or Good Guessing in a Pa risian Robbery Case. One day in October, 1883, Lady A.. living in Rue du Bel-Respiro, Paris. found that she had been robbed of a auma of 3.5iO0 francs. She notified the commissary of police on Rue Berryer. who Instituted a search and questioned the servants, but discovered nothing. Lady A., when enumerating-her serv ants, begged the commissary to ex clude from hls suspicions her second valet de chambre, a youth of nineteen. very good looking, very respectful and very well qualified for his duties, who ad been nicknamed "le Petit," not on account of his stature, for he was rath er tall, but from a feeling of delicate. protecting familiarity which his good qualities had won for him. Meanwhile among the friends of Lady A. there had been a good deal of talk about a certain Demoiselle E., who, they said, could see the most sur pisng- things In a bowl of coffee grounds. Mi. L. d'Ervieux had the cu riosity to accompany his governess to the house of this person and was quite surprised to hear her describe exactly each piece of furniture in Lady A.'s apartment, pass in review her seven servants and say that, though she could not name the thief. he would be guillotined within two years. Some weeks later "le Petit" left the service of his mistress without giving any reason, and two years later he mounted the scaffold. This servant, so highly esteemed. was none other than Marhandon. the assassin. - London Notes and Queries. - BREVITY APPRECIATED. Japanese Courtesy Was a Bore to Bi Oriental and Englishman.

So he asked one of L his ministers, who was with him, how Vs much the ivory egg at the end of the c- bell rope ought to cost. mn "I do not know," was the answer. "It shall be ascertained," said Na poleon. Thereupon he cut off the ivory handle, called for a valet, bade him dress himself in plain clothes, inquire the price of such articles at several a shops in Paris and order a dozen as if for himself. The valet bought them.for two-thirds of the price that the emperor had had to pay.

SThe president's mail Is of such pro portions that he cannot, like the busi ness man, read all his letters as a part g- of the morning's routine. By a care p. fully developed system, however, the m contents of the White House mail are ad in substance laid before him each day. hThe work of doing this falls upon a corps of confidential clerks, who open . the letters and give them a first read v ing. Then they are carefully sorted. e Many of them, of course, need not go n to the president at all, since they are simply recommendations for office. These, after courteous aciowledg ment, are referred to the proper de npartments and placed on file until they ~may be taken up for consideration. ~Many of the president's letters are purely formal or contain requests for 5something which cannot be granted. These the clerks answer and the presi ddent's secretary signs. The requests dfor charity are so many that a special "form" has been drawn up for answer e-ing them. Such communIcatIons as the prest dent ought to see are carefully brief that is, a slIp I3 pinned at the top of each letter, and on this is a typewnit asten synopsis of its contents, telling who t the writer is and what he has to pre tsent. Frequently the president Is suf sficiently Interested by the brief to cause him to read the whole letter. Some ne times the communication is referred to a cabinet officer, in which case the slip his retained at the White House and filed. When a large number of persons 'write on the same subject the letters de are bunched and the brief at the top >e gives the names of those who present one argument and in another list the persons who offer a different view.

As a result the ppetite is weakened, the digestive ac ion slows down and the muscles of the stomach and abdomen cease to act upon the intestinal mass. When the body s in a recumbent position the. heart works with the least expenditure f effort and the least fatigue and the rirculation and the functional activity are decreased. But unless the subject To o s exceptionally vigorous all the bene- :e P fts are counterbalanced b2y dangers. In bed the subject is azet away from fresh air and sunlight.

The Aristocratic Montenegrin. The Bulgarian may not have a liking for domestic service, but he is a born agricultural laborer. According to a recent traveler. If you give hIm a bar ren pIece of land he will make it blos- B som like the rose, while his Montene grin brother will stand and look on._ On the other hand, the Montenegrin placed in a drawing room always be haves like a gentleman. while the Bul- IJ ga-ian In the same environment cannot help being a boor. "But then." says the London Chronicle. "it is said the Montenegrins are the descendants of Servan aristocrats who fled to the J mountains *o seek freedom. The ex planation is thin, but pleasing. Of one claim to culture, however. Montene gr cannot be deprived-she established a printing press at Obod only twenty years after Caxton began his labors, and she printed beautifully. But the Turks made 'pi' of everything, and the press was not re-established till 1832." The Drunlkard's Cloak One of the quaint instruments of tor- 1) ture in England in olden time was a device known as the drunkard's cloak. O It was made of wood and in shape re sembled a huge inverted flowerpot. Through the small circular aperture in the top was thrust the neck of the im prisoned inebriate. The weight of this ancient counterpart of the straitjacket fell on the victim's shoulders and was -- sufficient to make every bone in ..i body ache. With his hands practically pinned to his sides and the garment reaching almost to the ground the only motion allowed him was a slow shutile of his weary feet as he dragged his Prot way painfully along. One can well be lieve that any one who had been com- -- pelled to don the drunkard's cloak would be very apt to come to the con - clusion that a high old time was not worth having at the price..

"Did what? Did you spel it? If you did you deserve" "No, no. man; my name's Turner, and I did the drawing and engraved the - plate from It."

Wigs Are Made of It, and It Stiffens High Grade Silks. The notion is popularly -held that whr.!ebone derived from whales ribs. nithoi;:gh many persons beliere that it -omesi ror the tail of the hi. mammal. Both notions are incorrect. The function of whalebone In the life of the whale is of the utmost im portance. The inner edges of the whalebone plates are frayejd into in numerable hairUike-processes. and the whole forms a sort of sieve whereby the whale may sift out its food; fromt the sea water.
